Large groups of Corvettes will travel in a special Nashville Cruize from Bowling Green to Nashville both Friday and Saturday and will be allowed special parking at Adelphia Stadium. Top

What is required to Park at Adelphia Stadium during the Nashville events? The updated corvette50th.com site includes a detailed parking page on event parking for Nashville. It clearly lays out that stadium parking is limited to 5,000 Caravan participants each day they travel to Nashville from the NCM Museum. It is not open to just anyone who happens to be staying in the Bowling Green area, but only to those with the Caravan decal and an additional credential that will be assigned to those who want to participate in the "Nashville Cruize". You will have to meet all three criteria as follows: be registered for the Caravan and have a Caravan Decal, be registered for lodging at Bowling Green, and meet at the NCM Museum Friday or Saturday morning to pick up the special "Nashville Cruize" credentials and drive to Nashville with the special group.
